Boxofficemojo<\/a>). The numbers are truly impressive and champagne corks must be a-poppin&#8217; in the casa de Tarantino these days, while the movie is still making a few millions around the globe every week. It just opened up in a number of new countries, too, so we ain&#8217;t seen nothin&#8217; yet, as they say. Among other places, the movie opened in Spain at the San Sebastian film festival (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sassyqarla.com\/2009\/09\/news-0000440.html\">link<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/hostednews\/afp\/article\/ALeqM5gdW9L4cLYaRROJ5AjGc3E2vFO0vQ\">link<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.variety.com\/article\/VR1118008871.html?categoryid=13&amp;cs=1&amp;ref=bd_film\">link<\/a>), and in October, Quentin will launch the movie in Mexico (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/hostednews\/afp\/article\/ALeqM5hFeMYrAHVQ3FXgjULS2qsS4GaeoA\">AFP<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>A particularly <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/film\/2009\/sep\/16\/quentin-tarantino-inglourious-basterds-israel\">interesting launch is Israel<\/a>, where Quentin and his gang o&#8217; Basterds premiered the movie for the first time, a very <a href=\"http:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/hasen\/spages\/1115023.html\">special audience for this film<\/a>. You can see videos of the press conference (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ynet.co.il\/articles\/0,7340,L-3777184,00.html\">article in hebrew, with pictures<\/a>) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vimeo.com\/6590833\">here<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-TX9SIgCsyg\">here&#8217;s a clip<\/a> of the premiere (thanks to Ziv for the heads up). Reviews in Israel <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jpost.com\/servlet\/Satellite?cid=1253198154949&amp;pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull\">are not interely positive<\/a>, but it will take a little until it&#8217;s time to conclude whether the movie was well received there. Tarantino repeatedly stated he was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2009\/09\/15\/AR2009091501365.html\">very excited to premiere the film there<\/a>, as you can imagine.
